A refrigerant 22 condenser has four water passes and a total of 60 copper tubes that are 14 mm ID and have 2 mm wall thickness. The conductivity of copper is 3 90 W/m • K. The outside of the tubes is finned so that the ratio of outside to inside area is 1.7. The cooling-water flow through the condenser tubes is 3.8 L/s (a) Calculate the water-side coefficient if the water is at an average temperature of 30°C, at which temperature k = 0.614 W/m • K, p = 996 kg/m3 , andµ= 0.000803 Pa• s (b) Using a mean condensing coefficient of 1420 W/m2 • K, calculate the overall heat-transfer coefficient based on the condensing area.

Question

A refrigerant 22 condenser has four water passes and a total of 60 copper tubes that are 14 mm ID and have 2 mm wall thickness. The conductivity of copper is 3 90 W/m • K. The outside of the tubes is finned so that the ratio of outside to inside area is 1.7. The cooling-water flow through the condenser tubes is 3.8 L/s

(a) Calculate the water-side coefficient if the water is at an average temperature of 30°C, at which temperature k = 0.614 W/m • K, p = 996 kg/m3 , andµ= 0.000803 Pa• s

(b) Using a mean condensing coefficient of 1420 W/m2 • K, calculate the overall heat-transfer coefficient based on the condensing area.
